The curriculum outline comprises 6 modules, to be delivered in hybrid format, blending online classes with experiential learning on-site. Each module is designed to impart the equivalent of 1.5-credit hours, comprising 30 hours of cumulative learning time. Twenty one hours (21) of real-time online classes, anchored by the WePOWER SAR 100 Regional Knowledge Hub (RKH) at Yunus Center AIT (YCA), will be hosted by the Sustainable Energy Transition (SE) department at AIT Bangkok, with international faculty participating from a variety of locations. Nine (9) hours of supervised onsite practical learning assignments will be facilitated by experts in the home-country, working closely with the YCA core team.  A one-week on-campus capstone event at AIT will conclude the program.​​​
